Hi there
Im hoping to open a food stall in a farmers market in the coming months and im just wondering where is the best place to buy plastic food containers for storing food,i would be looking for a few containers 10 litres or more in size.I know that dunnes and tescos have a range but none of them seem to be big enough for me.
Any feedback and advice would be gretly appreciated.

Kitchenware shops like Kitchen Compliments or Stock (both in Dublin) may have them. You could also try the homewares sections in Heatons, Woodies, B&Q, etc...

Ikea have plastic lidded boxes in their storage section from 5l all the way up to 130l. I couldn't swear to it but I'm pretty sure I see cupcakes being unloaded from them in my local farmers market

Unfortunately, I haven't a clue. I'd assume so but have been mistaken in my assumptions in the past

You could ask the manufacturers

That's a shame. I only just noticed they had moved to Anne St. South from Chatham St. I wonder if that was their undoing somehow, less footfall maybe?
